That's incorrect as was already mentioned in this very discussion. grub2 does not care where boot entries come from as long as it can read them. ...
As long as syslinux is still available and the kernel installation still creates a /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd, we can always boot using extlinux from an ext3 partition or similar.
The challenge is not to load kernel but to maintain the list of available kernels. You can always set "no bootloader" in YaST Bootloader and install whatever you like; but it also stops refreshing your bootloader configuration on kernel installation/removal.
